The subject matter studied most was psychology (23.3%), followed by respiratory (15.6%).

Crude rate of references to journals was 12.93, and to books, 3.06. In English, it was 10.94, and in Spanish, 7.53. A total of 73.9% of the articles were written without any collaboration and in 19.44% of them, there was collaboration between the hospital site and university.

Intensive and Coronary Care Nursing is a young discipline with a growth model that complies with the Price Law and rapid growth rhythm. The Nucleus of Bradford of the journals is made of by Enfermería Intensiva. The mean number of authors per article is elevated in comparison with other fields of Nursing, although less than foreign nursing studies. There is a significant deficit in the number of crude references per article used, with predominance of the English language and journals. The limited existence of institutional collaboration makes us consider a still non-established discipline, although with an ascending clear tendency in recent years.
